This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

There aren't specific speed limits for goods vehicles under 3.5 tonnes. Speed limits vary depending on whether a vehicle weighs more or less than 7.5 tonnes.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to make the speed limit for good vehicles under 7.5 tonnes the same for dual carriageways and motorways. We could also accept a petition calling on the Government to set speed limits for goods vehicles weighing under 3.5 tonnes, but it would need to be clear what you want these to be set at.
